Dotty Nail Art with Catrice Polishes

Happy Thursday!! 

  I love Summer nail trends. They are always vibrant and fun. This year I've been seeing a lot of Watermelon themed nail art and I thought I'd give it a shot. I wanted to do something a little different and more "grown up". I went with a cute "dotticure" in a Watermelon color scheme. I think this is a fun take on the trend. I love doing "dotticures" because they are a fast and easy way to spice up any manicure. Some of my favorite manicures have been of the dotted nature. 
 For this easy look I started with a base of Catrice's King of Greens. This color is really just outstanding. Once my base was dry I started placing the dots. I started with the big Coral dots which were done with Catrice Meet me at Coral Island. Then I did some medium dots in the same color. For the small White dots I used Milani White on the Spot which is the best dotting White ever! For the Black accents I used Milani Black Swift which is another amazing polish for dotting.
  I wanted to add something a litle flashy to set the whole manicure off so I did some very small dots with Mavala Electric Green (cannot wait to actually wear this shade). For this "dotticure" I used my dotting tools from Born Pretty Store. I topped the whole thing off with some SV and then some INM Nothern Lights for sparkle.
 I hope you guys enjoyed my take on Watermelon Nails. I really like how these colors work together. Hhhhmmm.. Maybe I should start turning to Fruit for inspiration :D!. Also, I decided against growing my nails out. You guys replied with so much love for the nubs that I decided to keep them that way. I do love my nubs #ClubNub <3!

What do you think of dotted melons?

  7. Very cute and summery! And I'm a "nub" girl myself :) Since I type so much at work, it's impossible for me to keep my nails long without them annoying me or getting completely chipped up, anyway... #clubnub forever!

  16. Love this! It prompted me to make my own Born Pretty Store order for dotting tools! And another Club Nub member here, too; I make jewelry, play piano and guitar, so I can't do long nails at all.

  17. Oh they are GORGEOUS. I never think of doing dots when I'm stuck for ideas! I have so many Catrice polishes and I've passed that green a million times, but your swatches really make me want it quite badly... gorgeous x

  19. For some reason before I realized these were inspired by watermelons, I thought they were a bunch of alien eyeballs. Lol Love it! :)

  20. Love it!
    I'm new to the nail art world and using the dotter is by far the most fun for me. Still have difficulty doing my right hand. Not sure if it will ever get easier. :(
